II. The Sacrament of Holy Orders in the Economy of Salvation
1550
This presence of Christ in the minister is not to be understood as if the latter
were preserved from all human weaknesses, the spirit of domination, error, even
sin. the power of the Holy Spirit does not guarantee all acts of ministers in
the same way. While this guarantee extends to the sacraments, so that even the
minister’s sin cannot impede the fruit of grace, in many other acts the
minister leaves human traces that are not always signs of fidelity to the
Gospel and consequently can harm the apostolic fruitfulness of the Church.
